Good morning! How are you? We have a fun day planned with donuts, tacos, a little weekend swimming and some vacation prep — eeeeep! What are you up to today?
What do you think about Instagram Stories versus Snapchat? As much as I resist change, I’m actually enjoying Stories right now. Snapchat has become harder to navigate for finding people and tracking who’s viewing, and I don’t have time to keep another app open all the time.
I do miss the pretty Snapchat filters — and Max definitely misses the puppy filter.
If you missed my posts last week, you can catch my July beauty favorites and lifestyle picks. I’m loving a lot of things at the moment.
I’d love for you to follow along on Facebook and Pinterest too. Tell me what you want to see more of.
Loves of the week:
This peach and burrata salad — I wouldn’t complain.
I’ve been craving a s’mores brownie like whoa.
For next weekend: the best road trip playlist.
Also: spiralized refrigerator pickles — how cool is that?
A five-layer ice cream cake — I can’t even.
Super-pretty watermelon gazpacho.
A cucumber, Thai basil gin and tonic that sounds ridiculously refreshing.
Crispy avocado egg rolls — I need these in my life.
The happiest sprinkle chocolate chip cookie ice cream sandwiches ever — so fun.
Check out how insanely cheesy this baked eggplant Parmesan is.
This ratafruitie is surprisingly creative.
Diner-style pancakes with bacon butter — I’m already in a delicious carb coma.
And finally, a lemongrass, coconut and blackberry cocktail that’s calling my name. Of course.
